Cold or not?

Hi, January and February are the coldest months for me. It's inside the flats that are cold and it's not so much the temperature but the humidity. It's a cold that gets into you, in your joints, cold nose!
I always section off areas where possible with curtains eg across the arch. This helps keep the heat from being lost in areas where it's not needed. Then I have a gas fire for my main room and for the bathroom I have a small camping heater which uses aerosol cans, just to keep the chill off after a shower!

You are bound to get different information as we all have our preferred methods and preferences.
Jan/Feb are particularly damp and cold indoors.
What heating etc is already installed in a property and how you choose to use it will determine what extra (if necessary) you need.
Gas fires give off a lot of water vapour and add to the humidity in homes but they are cheapest to run, in terms of conventional heating appliances.
We use fan heaters and electric blankets plus we dress for the cold indoors.
There are other fuel heaters available.
Think about appropriate storage of clothing etc if it is cold and damp.

Good morning Redmik and all,
Excellent again...thank you!
I am though now very worried about how much meth's drinking is really going on but that is another topic
Cheers.

with the reduction in electricity prices, if you are on the lower electricity rates then a modern aircon unit is the cheapest form of heating, cheaper than gas. However, need to consider if your usage means will lose your green low consumption subsidy
